Another story tthe way back Is brought
up now to account for the introduction ol

Folae, however, thought that Parsons
might hurt one Of the jail deputies with
so formidable muscIe producer, and
consequently refused tho permission, but
allowed him to have two pieces Of
iron rod Of aome kind, or iron gas pipe !;
which 1t was cannot now be remembered.
It ia remembered, however, that each was
about Is or IA inches In length and about
three.quarteIa Of an inch in diameter.
Each Of these being cp. into two in the
middle would make four pieces OF about
the same a!zs as the sizs OF each Of the
bombs. The probability seems to bs
strong that Psr1ons' two pieces ot exer-
cise iron pipe have been converted into
the four bombs yesterday found in Louio

Sheriff to compare with the iron pipe out
OF which the fur bombs were made.
